Description: I view my LO work on both Linux and MacOS and in Linux everything is "normal". When I work on my documents on an older Macbook Air with a non retina display, fonts are generally too large again. This got fixed for a while, but seems to have resurfaced in 7. Of course I can scale the view in the lower right hand size, but the scale is saved with the document, so I have to reset it each time I switch computers. I would like to request a fix, either of the following would be helpful: - Do not save the scale setting in the document metadata - Restore the scale or DPI option in the Preferences -> Libreoffice -> View settings Since I see a lot of work was done recently with the new HiDPI feature I have a suspicion this is a side effect/ A screen shot is here, you can see that the font is rather big for 9 pt Liberation Sans: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1XAmsnoKSF7otJOloKce3AeT9RXGmRx3zHqIxI0IrTzI/edit?usp=sharing Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a spreadsheet on a Linux laptop 2. View it on a non-Retina Mac laptop 3. Actual Results: Fonts need to be scaled. Expected Results: Scaling the doc each time the doc is viewed on another display should not be necessary, Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: Yes Additional Info: Rescaling the doc each time the doc is viewed on a different computer should not be necessary. I have: Macbook Air 11 inch mid 2011, macOS High Sierra 10.13.6 (last version available for this Air) Screen is 135 DPI (non-Retina) Version: 7.1.4.2 / LibreOffice Community Build ID: a529a4fab45b75fefc5b6226684193eb000654f6 CPU threads: 4; OS: Mac OS X 10.13.6; UI render: GL; VCL: osx Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded
They're unreadably small for me in 7.1.4.2.
adjust your scaling for the external monitor =-ref-= [1] https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/193723/scaling-all-ui-elements-when-using-an-external-monitor
Well I really think you didn't understand the problem. The font size is only messy in LibreOffice and not in other apps. Scaling the display is not the solution.
